Venerable Manora’s Poem (2)

Venerable Manora said, “Mind flows along with all things, and the place where it flows is truly still and calm. If you realise the true-Self by following the flow, there is neither joy nor sorrow.”

Student: “How is it when we realise the true-Self by following the flow?”

Master: “Father and son meet after a long separation.”

Commentary:

Once I meet him, he is not he anymore.
